  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 225 g cream cheese, softened

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté diced jalapeños and chopped onion until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add shredded chicken breast, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
